The two sensors must also be synchronised together, therefore one of the sensors should
store an empty text file called “slave.txt” which indicates that it is the “slave” sensor, the

configuration is pre-installed when you order a PhysiGait Lab, so you don't need to modify
the configuration of the Physilog®5.
